I am relatively new to the site, but I have had a kegerator with roughly two foot of tube running from the fridge to the bar top. The only thing I did was wrap the three beer lines with insulation tape and a pipe tube thing around that. The first half of a pour might be a waste but after that...

my beer is foaming up in the line, not as it is poured. It is literally forming large gaps of gas in the line. Yes, I am a huge hophead. I love IPA's and IIPA's. DFH 60 & 90 min IPA, Bells hopslam, Stone IPA and Ruination... just to name a few. I love IPAs, I am very dissappointed that...

Malkore, my beer lines are forming bubble right at the exit of the keg, that is still in the fridge and I there is no temp change at that point. I just replaced the poppet and it is still happening. Like I said before, my Bud Light keg does not have any problem. So my beer is not getting any...

WOW. thats way too bad for DFH. I can credit them for helping me realize that I am a hophead. So while I thank them for that, I am now boycotting them. (I guess I dont really have a choice since I live in IN) but either way I have broadened by taste buds and have started to love many Bells and...

Thx for the quick motivational speech guys. Lets break this down into a step by step list of problems. First things first, I have bubbles forming in the beer line causing way too much foam in my glass. I force carbonated the keg for two days (beer was ferminting for 4 weeks, Its a kit called...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so freaking irritated. I cant figure this out. My first batch was a great tasting pale ale. The second was a great tasting easy wheat. The third was a decent dunkle. The fourth was a crappy tasting IPA, the fifth is a...

I think I see both sides of this coin now. Thank you for all your help. To be honest, I do not rush my process in anyway. I brewed a black hole IPA and it has been "done" for over a week and a half now. I am in no hurry. Like I said, until last night, I didnt know about using the sugar when...

So this is my fifth batch of home brew. I have always kegged my beer and use my kegerator to "quickly" carbonate my beer. I have never used priming sugar. I had no idea that it is also possible to use priming sugar and then let it set up for another 2 weeks to carbonate. I dont understand...

I am working the same angle and am starting to talk to my local breweries now. So far I have spoken to one that just opened and he helped me with a very eye-opening trip through his operation. I am excited to dig deeper this weekend and hopefully get is business plan from him. good luck to...

Justin, I am also from Indianapolis! :mug: I am so happy to have stumbled onto this thread. I have lots of questions to ask you. A group of my friends are dabbling with the idea of starting a brewery. But we are still in the infancy stage (more like conception stage). The idea just came...

no I didnt, but I didnt on the last five bud light kegs I had either. then I refilled the cylinder and carbonated this one 5 gal keg and now I am in the red again!

Bingo!!! yes, that is my go-to place! In fact that is why I brewed this batch. I thought it was really good! It fermented for 27 days, it was around 65 to 70. I only mentioned the kegerator because I made it out of a regular fridge and I was very proud of it. I pressurized the keg to...

Boy am I glad you guys are here! I am going to have lots of questions. I just finished my first batch of Brew-B-Q Pale Ale. It went fairly well. I have a converted Kegerator so I was able to keg it. It was a little cloudy but I also didnt use any Irish Moss. And I also didnt dry hop the...
